Jan 17, '05 MORE LEAKS!

OH NO! More leaks. In the motor home and in our new car. One compartment
of the motorhome is sopping wet on the carpeted floor. Things were wet, rusted
and moldy. I did not think I had a leak in that compartment and had not worried
about it. When I checked it after the rain, the paper towels I placed over things
were not wet. That was my "rain gauge" in all my basement compartments.
Sharon got into the leaky compartment yesterday and found the wet floor.

The new car we won had about 2 to 3 inches of water in the trunk wheel
well. Sharon measure one gallon of water in the bucket she used to empty it
out. The carpet was wet, the spare tire cover had mold on the under side. These
California rainstorms have not been kind to us leak wise. I will call the dealer
today and see about getting it fixed. I assume it is under warranty. Again,
we did not notice this since we had not been into the trunk lately.

As for the motorhome, I guess that is up to me. It was not obvious where the
water came from, so I will have to do some detective work. Look at any place
on the roof on down where a lot of water could get into the compartment.

I keep looking at all the stuff we have in this warehouse and am not sure how
we will ever be able to go through it all and get rid of it in a timely manner.
This is very frustrating.

I got a fair amount accomplished yesterday. My main direction these
days is to learn how to make a living on the internet. I do not want to workamp
when we go full timing. I am very impressed with the program we are currently
using. If you want to read about it they have a free e-book you can read. It
tells you everything you need to know to develop an income on the web. Click
here is you would like to read their book on how to do it. You do not need to
buy anything, the book tells it all.

Of course the problem with this is it takes away from emptying the warehouse
and it also takes away from my main source of income which is selling on Ebay.
We have made our living on Ebay since October of 1998. Making a living online
is not new to us. Making one without selling a product is fairly new.

This full timing thing is somewhat scary. With only Social Security
and no retirement it is more difficult to plan exactly what to do.
